Ace Serve!

Mark 10:43-45 New Living Translation (NLT)

43 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant,44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

The Natural Man says: by my opinion, “how is this going to benefit me?” Or, meaning the same thing, we have another annoying acronym – WIFM – “what’s in it for me!” Man’s personal quest for acquiring his own greatness.

The Man or Woman of God should say: “how can I get in and serve this vision, how can I help, hand me a hammer or a screwdriver or a shovel, count me in!”

Unfortunately we are being raised in a culture where we are training ourselves to avoid healthy work and healthy serving attitudes.

Many people just go to church out of duty – wondering why their faith is dry and unfulfilled.

The fulfillment of our faith will only come as we follow Jesus . . . and how is that? To serve, with all your might and life, serve . . . and what the opinionated selfish person desires most [position with the Lord supping fine wine – Matt 10:37] arrives at the feet of the servant. The servant get’s pushed to the front of the line, invited to the best seats, and the place closest to the Lord – by the very Hand of God!
